Watch out, censors. I'm about to use a couple of vulgar words. Here they are: station wagon.

Based on how car makers have avoided using those words for the past 20 years, you'd think there was something dirty about calling a station wagon what it is. American cars that carry a lot of cargo will append their names with all kinds of crazy monikers -- active, touring, sport, cross -- all to keep from using that awful expletive, "wagon."

The interior is all CTS, which is a good thing. The front cabin is identical to the award-winning CTS sedan, complete w...
